What happens when Joe Home User buys a new Linksys and wants to plug it in to get a firmware update before installing it? Are we really supposed to expect that every Joe Homeowner understands RA Guard and configures it for their home network?
If Joe Home User has a rogue device spewing RA's, he probably has a bigger problem than just not having RA Guard enabled. He either has a badly misconfigured router (and one that's disobeying the mandate to not RA if you don't have an uplink), or he has a compromised malicious host. In either case, he's got bigger fish to fry.
